Offspring higher stats than parents, but no mutes?

[Darlingfreaks]

So I'm fairly new to breeding and I think, for the most part, I have a good grasp on how stat work when passing along to the offspring. The title pretty much says it but i can not figure out how sometimes i get offspring that has higher stats than either parents, but then i look in ancestry and 0/0 mutes..... This is not the first time I've seen this, atleast my second time it's came up. First one i just shrugged off as possible bug. Anyone has any insight on this? The damage stat is the one that came out 1 point higher

If it affects only melee, then the most likely culprit is TE correction on 1st gen offspring (that has tamed parents).

Every dino with a few exceptions get several bonuses upon taming: bonus levels depending on TE, additive bonus to stats, multiplicative bonus to stats that depends on TE. Since your parents are not 100% TE tames their multiplicative bonus to melee (the most common stat to have it) is not full, but every baby dino gets their stats as if they were a 100% tame.

A simple example:
lets say you have a rex parent that was tamed at 90% TE with 50 points in melee.
If you check wiki you'll notice that it has an additive bonus of 7% to melee and a multiplicative bonus of 17.6%.
According to (simplified) creature stats calculation formula that parent will have (100 + 5*50 +7)*(1+ 0.176*0.9) = 413.55% melee
Its offspring can inherit its 50 points in the stat, but the total value will be recalculated for 100% TE: (100 + 5*50 +7)*(1+ 0.176) = 419.83% melee
 

Edit: in your case it is possible that stat extraction in ARK smart breeding app was incorrect - it automatically calculates as if male parent has been tamed from level 143 wild, which is impossible for a difficulty 5 servers. Screenshots of stats and level from the game would have helped a bit.

Hi, very likely you chose the wrong level for damage for the father while extracting (if a stat in Smart Breeding is yellow, the application offers multiple combinations and you have to choose the correct one). A good help is the wild-level. The following data probably is the correct one and also goes along with the offspring (you can copy the following line in the clipboard and go to `Edit -> Import Values from Clipboard` for faster copying the values over):

Manson (Equus, Lvl 242, TE: 80%, Male): HP: 2064.1 (38, 0); St: 1904 (24, 0); Ox: 570 (28, 0); Fo: 4200 (18, 0); We: 1281.3 (38, 27); Dm: 329.4% (31, 6); Sp: 120% (31, 0); To: 5662.1 (208);
